Critical response
The film received positive reviews from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 96% of 47 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.40/10. The website's consensus reads: "Delightfully dark and impressively ambitious, A Wounded Fawn offers a grimly distinctive treat for slasher fans."[1]
Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film was "really all of a piece in the way it toys with expectations, keeping viewers off-balance. Stevens and company put the audience in the place of both the predator and prey."[2] Katie Rife of RogerEbert.com said that the film was "a film that celebrates art and art history, one that reaches back across the millennia for inspiration and pulls out symbolism that still resonates today", giving it 3/4 stars.[3] Nick Schager of The Daily Beast praised Lind's performance, and added, "Stevens' phantasmagoric horror show embraces the incomprehensible, even as it preserves a tether to the Greco-Roman mythology at its core."[4]
Awards
The film was nominated for Best Streaming Premiere Movie at the 2023 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards.[5]
